"Earlier this week, IBM unveiled details about a fascinating
research project taking place at IBM's research labs: a Linux-based
wrist watch...."

"This morning, I spoke with Alex Morrow, "IBM Fellow" at
IBM's TJ Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, and
project leader of the IBM Linux Wrist Watch project. My goal was to
learn about the project's overall mission and goals, and also
to gather technical specifics about the device itself, from a
hardware, software, and systems design perspective."

"RL: What is IBM trying to accomplish through this Linux Wrist
Watch project?"

"Morrow: We think this is a breakthrough in Linux, getting Linux
down into this size device. It's a good example of what we're
trying to do, which is to see how broadly we can use Linux, and to
demonstrate our commitment to having open platforms. Did you also
see the news about [Linux] going up into the Blue Gene computer,
with Linux?"
